Pervasive Data Privacy without Compromising Network Performance
Today’s organizations face a wide range of data privacy challenges, from cyber attacks and third-party snooping on private networks, to compliance requirements and growing demand for premium, secure services. Ensuring data privacy throughout the network is therefore imperative as organizations seek to enable secure operations without compromising growth, productivity, and profitability.
VPNs based on the IP Security (IPsec) protocol offer a cost-effective, scalable solution for service providers, enterprises, and public sector organizations seeking to securely connect remote sites, employees, and partners to networked systems and applications. IPsec provides robust security and encryption features to protect critical data, and can be deployed across any IP network. In addition, it functions efficiently end to end, at the network edge, and within the core network, making it ideal for site-to-site and various.
Wire-Speed Embedded Encryption in a High-Performance Router
The Brocade® MLX® 4-port 10 GbE IPsec module for Brocade MLXe Core Routers provides inline IPsec encryption capabilities at wire speed, delivering pervasive data privacy without compromising performance or requiring complex deployments. With support for four ports of 10 GbE/1 GbE combo and four additional ports of 1 GbE, the module supports an industry-leading capacity of more than 44 Gbps per half-slot module and up to 128 ports of 10 GbE in a single Brocade MLXe system.The inline ports for IPsec deliver unmatched performance by requiring no service module to be used, freeing up slots in the chassis to be used for other routing applications.
Flexible Solution for Maximum Security
The Brocade MLX IPsec module is built on the Brocade VersaScale Packet Processor, designed to enable service innovation through programmability and flexibility without sacrificing performance. This programmability enables one of the strongest cryptographic suites for IPsec-Suite B-to be added in hardware to the Brocade MLXe Series. For additional security, the module supports IEEE 802.1AE (MACsec), which provides 128-bit MAC-layer hop-by-hop encryption for Local Area Network (LAN) use cases. Other advantages of the Brocade MLX IPsec module include multi-VRF support, deep buffers of 2 GB per module, and jumbo frames (9,000 bytes) support for dynamic traffic patterns caused by applications in cloud, mobile, and Big Data.
